Comments Off on AWW: Boy With Prosthetic Flippers Befriends Dolphin With Prosthetic Tail

Cieran Kelso has loved Winter the dolphin ever since he saw her swim with her prosthetic tail in the movie “Dolphin’s Tale.”

The 8-year-old from England relates to Winter because he lost both his legs to meningitis when he was just 13months old. On Sunday, Kelso got to meet his aquatic hero after tourism officials flew him and his family to Florida for a swim with Winter at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. His father, Gary, raised enough money to buy his son prosthetic flippers, BBC News reported.
